ONION AND ZUCCHINI FRITTATA TO GO



Onion and Zucchini Frittata to Go image

One of my favorite Provençal omelets is a sweet onion omelet, whose name in Provençal means "harvester's omelet." Workers would carry these types of omelets to the fields and eat them as a midmorning meal. I think they're suitable for just about any meal.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, easy, quick

Time 45m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
Salt to taste
1 garlic clove, minced
1 small zucchini, grated (about 1 cup)
4 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 8-inch nonstick omelet pan and add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is very soft and sweet, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and the zucchini, and cook, stirring often, until the zucchini has wilted, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Beat the eggs in a medium bowl and add the milk and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the onion and zucchini mixture and mix well. Clean and dry the pan.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the omelet pan. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping in every last bit with a heat-proof rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked during the first couple of minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and just about set. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden.
  • If the frittata is still runny on the top, wearing oven mitts, slide the frittata out onto a plate or even better, a saucepan lid that has a handle, reverse the pan over the plate or lid, and holding the two together, flip the plate or lid so that the frittata goes back into the pan on its not-quite-cooked side. Finish for no longer than a minute, then reverse onto a platter. Allow to cool to room temperature, and serve, or chill. Cut into 4 wedges to serve. The wedges pack well and are very portable.

Zucchini and Potato Frittata image

Zucchini, Potatoes, Cheese and onion make this an unusual frittata that requires no additional bread- great for carb watchers. Also tastes amazing wrapped in a tortilla the next day as leftover breakfast surprise!

Provided by Epi-curious

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
1 large zucchini, finely diced
1 large potato, finely diced
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 large onion, finely diced
1/4 cup finely diced bell pepper (red, green, or yellow)
1/2 cup chopped turkey ham (optional)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 large eggs
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large saute pan, saute the zucchini, potatoes, mushrooms, and onions, and peppers in the butter till not raw anymore, about 3 minutes on medium flame.
  • Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Butter the bottom and sides of a glass 13x9 Baking dish.
  • In a bowl, crack in the eggs and beat well to totally unify the yolks and whites.
  • Add the fresh parsley and dill to the egg mixture and stir well.
  • Add the shredded cheese to the egg mix and stir well.
  • Now add the vegetable mixture and fold into the egg mixture softly, but thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the entire egg mixture into the buttered baking dish and place in the oven on center rack for 35-40 minutes.
  • Start to watch the frittata after about 30 minutes to make sure it doesn't overcook in your oven (most ovens vary). You want it to be slightly golden on top, springy to touch and no evidence of runniness.

Tips:

  • Use a large nonstick skillet: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many ingredients, the frittata will be too thick and won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat: This will help prevent the outside from overcooking before the inside is cooked through.
  • Flip the frittata halfway through cooking: This will ensure that it cooks evenly on both sides.
  • Don't overcook the frittata: It should be set in the center but still slightly wobbly.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving: This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

The zucchini onion frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its simple ingredients and versatile flavor, this frittata is sure to become a family favorite.
